SP has already said Kamara's role will not change with Ingram out. The saints are probably just gonna be passing more. Kamara isn't the type of back Ingram is. Gordon will probably still get a large workload but his ypc are what they are. I felt he was last year, and not this year.
i said it may not change, dont put words in my mouth.

Think about that.
Kamara had more yards from scrimmage (1554) and more TD (13) than Mark Ingram (1540/12) playing less.

What we know:
Kamara played on 44% of the Saints' snaps.
Ingram played on 54.8% of the Saints' snaps.
Kamara had nearly half as many carries (120) as Ingram (230).
Kamara had 81 receptions compared to Ingram's 58.

Ingram is suspended for the first 4 games.
Ingram is on the southern end of age 28.

Trivia Time
In the last decade, how many RB age 28 or older had 200 carries or more?
Actually, there have been 56 RB. That's an average of 5.6 per season. It should be noted that of those 56 RB, only 34 of them averaged better than 4.0 yards per carry.

How did Sproles do fantasy wise after his first year with the saints. Kamara may be useful for PPR, but I am not going to worry about that for my top two backs. When a receiving back is ranked number 6, that's a red flag.

You probably had an easier major. And a lower GPA.

national honors society, 3.9 gpa, and occupational therapy.......

I am in Associate in Arts and currently have a 3.91 with ONE B. I am also full time. I am also retaking that B course. There is no way you can be a full time student, full time worker, full time gymner, and get that GPA. No.Way. And occupational therapy involves cupcake courses like Sociology and other social sciences. I'm assuming you got Bs in statistics(I got an A) and psychology.

When a receiving back is ranked number 6, that's a red flag.
FYI Per Rotoworld:

NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports the Saints were planning to make Alvin Kamara their "featured" back even before Mark Ingram's four-game suspension.

It's hardly a surprise. As Fantasy Guru's Graham Barfield points out, Kamara out-snapped Ingram over the Saints' final eight games last season. What Ingram's suspension does is give Kamara a chance to put a stranglehold on lead duties, perhaps erasing the 1A/1B workload delineation that existed last year. Ingram is headed into a contract season, and the Saints will probably be preparing to move on. Kamara will be well worth a first-round pick in this summer's fantasy drafts.
